[SCSI] libfc: A modular Fibre Channel library

Browse Source

libFC is composed of 4 blocks supported by an exchange manager
and a framing library. The upper 4 layers are fc_lport, fc_disc,
fc_rport and fc_fcp. A LLD that uses libfc could choose to
either use libfc's block, or using the transport template
defined in libfc.h, override one or more blocks with its own
implementation.

The EM (Exchange Manager) manages exhcanges/sequences for all
commands- ELS, CT and FCP.

The framing library frames ELS and CT commands.

The fc_lport block manages the library's representation of the
host's FC enabled ports.

The fc_disc block manages discovery of targets as well as
handling changes that occur in the FC fabric (via. RSCN events).

The fc_rport block manages the library's representation of other
entities in the FC fabric. Currently the library uses this block
for targets, its peer when in point-to-point mode and the
directory server, but can be extended for other entities if
needed.

The fc_fcp block interacts with the scsi-ml and handles all
I/O.
